A paradise island getaway, private performances from A-list American celebrities like Beyonce and Usher, and “copious” amounts of alcohol — this is what it’s like to party with the Gadhafi family, according to leaked U.S. documents.
In U.S. State Department cables, posted on the website Wikileaks, U.S. officials say Libyan dictator Moammar Gadhafi’s son Mutassim threw two major New Years bashes at St. Barts island in the Caribbean, one in 2009 and the next the following year, with price tags reportedly over a $1 million each.
As Moammar Gadhafi struggles to maintain control over the North African nation — and amid reports that his own daughter was attempting to flee the country — the leaked documents offer a glimpse into not only the lavish, “hard-partying, womanizing” ways of some of the Gadhafi sons, but also the intense in-fighting and rivalry between all the Gadhafi offspring.
